Our Vision

Why Are We Making Seraph?

Our team has extensive experience in developing video and mobile games, with a particular focus on ARPGs. Since 2017, we have closely followed the world of crypto and were particularly inspired by the popular Loot project in 2021.

Loot is an NFT project featuring equipment represented as white text on a black background, designed for use in gameplay. Each NFT is randomly generated, offering high composability and customization potential.

In Seraph, each piece of equipment can also be a NFT equipment, making it an ideal concept for a crypto game. With sufficient gameplay depth, continued optimization, and innovative integration of Web3 technology, Seraph has the potential to lead the next wave of crypto gaming trends.

What Are the Benefits of Combining Blockchain and Gaming?

1. From a Blockchain Perspective

Seraph uses blockchain technology to record player asset data, ensuring security, transparency, and true ownership of in-game assets. Blockchain’s tamper-proof nature empowers players to trade, collect, and fully control their assets, placing them at the center of the gaming experience.

This approach also enables more players to participate in a decentralized ecosystem designed with their needs in mind.

2. From a Tokenomic Perspective

Seraph’s native $SERAPH token is designed to foster long-term engagement and build a vibrant community that connects players and developers. This collaboration unlocks new opportunities across the ecosystem, ensuring sustainable growth and innovation.

Challenges in the Current Crypto Gaming Landscape

We believe that the crypto games are still in its early stages, and there are numerous issues that need to be addressed with the games available on the market today.

1. Lack of Gameplay Depth

Many crypto games fail to offer immersive playing experiences. Most are built on DeFi-inspired prototypes, featuring superficial gameplay with different stories and tokens layered on top. Players often recognize these games as primarily focused on financial incentives, rather than entertainment value or fun.

The popularity of games like Axie Infinity was largely driven by the "play-to-earn" model. However, players seeking purely engaging gameplay often turn to established platforms like Steam, PS5, or Switch, where entertainment and depth take precedence over monetary rewards.

2. Unsustainable Tokenomics

Crypto games struggle to balance long-term player engagement with rewarding participants for their contributions. Many tokenomic models fail to address sustainability, leading to negative player experiences. Unsustainable systems often cause significant losses for participants, forcing them to make risky decisions or leave the ecosystem entirely.

These challenges highlight the need for a balanced approach that fosters both engagement and stability within the ecosystem.

3. High Entry Barriers

The first generation of crypto games targeted only crypto-native users, requiring extensive knowledge of wallets, NFTs, and blockchain mechanics. This approach excluded free players and the wider gaming audience. To participate, players needed to learn about crypto wallets, manage private keys, and purchase game assets in NFT form, which created a steep barrier to entry.

Although newer games have introduced free entry options for non-crypto players, the onboarding process remains overwhelming. For instance, a newcomer unfamiliar with crypto must register a wallet, store their private key, log in with an authorized signature, and navigate complex concepts like gas fees, smart contracts, and wallet security. These hurdles deter many potential players from entering the market.

4. Lack of Community Consensus

A cohesive worldview and shared gameplay experience are essential for fostering community consensus, a cornerstone of successful gaming ecosystems. While blockchain provides fertile ground for community-building, many crypto games fail to leverage this potential. The absence of a unified narrative or engaging shared experiences prevents these games from forming strong, sustainable communities.

What Kind of Game Are We Building?

By leveraging the strengths of blockchain technology and addressing the challenges in the current market, we aim to provide players with a truly exceptional gaming experience. Our vision focuses on the following key goals:

1. Focus on Player Experience and Gameplay Depth

Seraph generates countless pieces of equipment randomly, enabling players to freely build their own unique equipment systems. This dynamic system creates a positive feedback loop: players defeat enemies, obtain valuable loot, and grow stronger while enjoying an immersive and engaging gaming experience. The combination of customization and progression ensures players remain captivated by the depth of the gameplay.

2. Create a Stable and Sustainable In-Game Economy

We place great importance on building a stable and sustainable in-game economy. From the early stages, we have carefully designed tokenomics to integrate seamlessly into the game, creating a robust foundation for long-term user engagement.

Drawing on token models tested in the market, we’ve implemented numerous optimizations to foster a sustainable economic cycle. By ensuring tokenomics supports the overall gameplay experience, Seraph creates a balanced and rewarding environment for all participants.

3. Lower Entry Barriers and Expand the Ecosystem

We believe that high entry barriers and lackluster gameplay are the two primary factors limiting the growth of the crypto gaming market. As game developers, we’ve worked to streamline onboarding processes to ensure they don’t distract or deter players from enjoying the game.

To achieve this, we’ve integrated Seraph’s account system with a blockchain wallet specifically designed for the game. This allows players to seamlessly enter the world of crypto gaming in a way that feels natural and intuitive. In the future, we will continue improving the player experience while expanding the overall ecosystem to attract a broader audience.

4. Build an Interactive and Engaged Community

Web3 tools play a central role in infusing new vitality into Seraph’s operations. By recording player actions and assets on-chain, we can create unique player profiles represented as NFTs. These profiles not only enhance personalization but also grant players influence within the ecosystem.

Assets and behaviors in the game affect voting rights for community governance, creating a system where players actively shape the game’s future. Over time, we plan to enhance existing governance mechanisms by adding game-driven elements and gradually opening up features for community control, blending gameplay with collaborative innovation.
